News / Film Craig Finn to Adapt a Klosterman Book for Film

Posted by on Tue, Oct 27, 2009 at 4:17 PM

Well won't this just be full of complete metal-loving geekery (via Punknews.org):

Hold Steady frontman Craig Finn is co-writing a script for a film adaptation of Chuck Klosterman's seminal first work Fargo Rock City along with Tom Ruprecht, a writer for the Late Show With David Letterman. The book is a collection of essays about Klosterman's love of metal while growing up in North Dakota.

This intrigues me. Craig Finn and Chuck Klosterman are two of my favorite things (even though Downtown Owl wasn't very good). And now that Finn is finally getting into the film industry, maybe we're one small step closer to having my dream of a Fiestas + Fiascos movie come true? Maybe? Just maybe? I know, probably not, but wouldn't it be amazing? It really, really would! (And for the record, Finn once told me that Nightclub Dwight would be played by none other than Christopher Walken. Just picture it!)

This could turn out great ... I'm really hoping so. Thanks, Megan. Also -- thanks for the tip on "Downtown Owl."

One of my favorite Mpls LFTR PLLR moments was attending one of their shows on Halloween in which multiple people in the crowd dressed up as characters from the songs. Classic.
